Today I had an @tescofood shop delivered. £85 for a family of six = fairly standard food shop. In this food shop, I counted 120, that’s ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY pieces of plastic packaging. And by the way this was on a shop with “no carrier bags”.
Surely that cannot be necessary?! 🤷🏼‍♀️
That’s rhetorical because I can say with certainty, that I do not need 6 Gala apples to come wrapped in plastic, that my bananas already have a skin on them for a reason and that fresh meat already smothered in plastic does not then require a further red plastic bag to alert me to the fact that it’s raw meat 🥩😕
In a time when we know and are socially aware of how damaging plastic is to our planet, big companies need to rethink their 1990s approach to consuming plastic in this manner for convenience. I can feel a blog rant coming on...

This past week we have lost a couple high profile people to complete darkness. There were hundreds more that didn't make the news as well. According to statistics, there are 23 suicides a day. 23 that see no other way out. 23 that have probably tossed the idea around for days, for weeks, hell, maybe even years. 23 that were so so so much more than just "sad"... people learn to wear masks so we have no idea what thoughts are hiding behind a smile. So, don't be an asshat to people. Don't be judgmental because someone took a different path than you. You never know if you are engaging with one of the 23! (And if you are one of those "not my problem" people, try being a little more empathetic...or you can just eat deep fried dog 💩😏) #depression #itseveryonesfight #bekind#mondaythoughts
